I have had a very nice morning - I've had a very nice week of mornings, actually. My kids have been at Vacation Bible School at a neighbor's church all this week, which means I've had uninterrupted work time. It's been quite novel, actually. I can think in a straight line and even complete some thoughts! That's an unusual occurrence around here. I'd better enjoy it - today's the last day until school starts back full time this fall! The next VBS we do is at our church - I'll be helping with the crafts (how'd you know I'd say that?), so no rest that week!
Now for the WHOOT! We have discovered a cool little place called www.indiespotting.com. They feature handmade items from independent artisans like ourselves (and I mean mycraft in general, not just us!). The submission process is pretty painless, and it's quite exciting when one of your items gets chosen. A couple of weeks ago, I submitted one of my pieces called "Hearts A-Fire." Much to my surprise, it was accepted. ( I don't know why it surprised me, it just did!) This week, I submitted a piece of my mom's called "High Desert Bracelet." It's an awesome turquoise piece created in the Sundance style. Go check it out, and if you're feeling brave, submit one of your own pieces. You never know what might happen!
We're also getting ready to have an article run about us over at www.handmadenews.org. I found Cheri posting in the Promotion threads in the Etsy Forum a couple of weeks ago. We have since filled out the interview and sent it to her. We'll let you know when the article runs so you can go check it out. Feel free to contact Cheri, too. I know she'd love to hear from you. Her Etsy handle is www.itsmecheri.etsy.com.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!
